The atmosphere in the hall instantly dropped to a freezing point. Mickey's eyes followed Gloria as she ran out of the hall. His legs wobbled, and he wanted to get up as well, but the noblewoman beside him reached out and held him down. She shook her head with a hint of warning, and aside from concern, there was also a hint of relief on her face.
Everyone wore different expressions, but most of them were gloating over Geoffrey's misfortune. They were thinking about what kind of punishment he would give Gloria and Lance's family in a fit of rage.
Geoffrey also couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. His gaze lingered on Gloria's empty seat for a while, but surprisingly, he didn't seem to be too angry. Instead, he used his knife to cut into his steak slowly as he said, "Let's eat."
"Father, Gloria, she …" Aurora said hesitantly.
"I would feel more comfortable if you could wear a veil to cover your hideous face instead of relying on a pile of messy powder to paint the wall. If I find out that you've consumed the Dark Magician's Hallucination Potion again, your pocket money will be reduced to zero and you'll be chased out of the house." Geoffrey's voice was a little cold. There were still traces of blood on the medium-rare steak, but it was easily chewed in his mouth. His deep eyes seemed to have seen through everything.
"Yes … Yes …" Aurora lowered her head, and didn't dare to say anything else.
"What can a woman do? Only an old fool like Ian would let a woman take charge of the family." Geoffrey thought to himself as he ate. However, this was the first time that Gloria had objected to his words, right? It was just like when Lance had first questioned his words. The father and daughter were quite similar when they were serious.
"If the freckles on my face are healed, what can I do?" In the garden of the Moreton Manor, Gloria squatted beside a small pond, and looked at the fish swimming in the pond as she softly murmured to herself.
…
"Why is Mr. Mak here?" Luna was standing not far away, looking at Meg's back in the hallway with a hint of confusion in her heart. She took a few steps forward, and was greeted by the sight of a row of children eating happily. Their faces were brimming with joy and vitality.
"Could it be that … Mr. Mak brought delicious food for them?" Luna's eyes immediately lit up. She looked at Amy, who was standing off to the side with Ugly Duckling in her arms, and immediately figured out that Amy must have brought Meg here.
As for Mag, they didn't expect him to come. Every serving of Mamy Restaurant's food was so expensive. If Mag was using the restaurant's food to entertain the children, then he was being too generous.
"Teacher Luna!" Amy turned around just in time to see Luna, and she immediately waved happily at her.
"Hello, Teacher Luna!" The children all stood up upon hearing this, and all greeted Luna happily. Even the delicious food couldn't slow them down in the slightest.
"Young Mistress Luna." Meg turned around with a hint of surprise. He looked at Luna, who was carrying a cloth bag, and the children's reactions, and immediately understood why Luna had come here.
In the past three years, Luna had provided Amy with a lot of help and warmth. To Amy, she was the only one, and to Luna, it was probably the same to all of the children.
"Hello, children." Luna waved at the children with a wide smile on her face. She quickly strode over to Meg, and nodded with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Meg."
"Are you here to see the children?" Meg asked with a smile as he looked at Luna. Luna was wearing a dark green floral dress today, and the silk scarf embroidered with golden lilies was still tied around her neck. When she was in front of the children, her smile was very amiable, and it made people feel very warm.
"Yes, but it looks like I'm not needed today. Mr. Meg has brought some delicious food for the children." Luna nodded, and took a deep breath. She looked at the braised chicken in the box, and her eyes lit up. "What an enticing aroma, but this seems to be different from the dishes that the restaurant has served before. Could it be that Mr. Meg has released a new dish?"
"Yes, this is the restaurant's new dish, but it hasn't been officially released yet. If Teacher Luna hasn't had dinner yet, perhaps you can have dinner with the children." Meg nodded, and took out a braised chicken and rice from the bag. "I just made two extra servings."
"No, I've already eaten. Little Colin isn't back yet, is he? I'll go see where he is first." Luna waved her hand, and swept her gaze over the children. She put down the cloth bag in her hand, and was about to walk out.
"Teacher Luna, you don't have to look for him. Colin said that someone wants to take him home to be his son. The adults of the Gray Temple have already taken care of the paperwork for him. He won't have to beg anymore, and can eat delicious white rice every day," a child said with a hint of envy in his voice.
"How can white rice compare to the chicken made by Ai Mi's father? This is the first time I've eaten chicken. After eating it, my body feels warm and comfortable." The child next to her giggled and said with a very happy expression.
"I see. That's great." Luna stopped in her tracks when she heard that, and a smile appeared on her face. The best home for these children was the Gray Temple, which could find suitable adopters for them. However, generally, those who had the needs and conditions to adopt children were more inclined to adopt children who were born not long ago, and not these children who were used to being wild outside, even though they were still cute and kind children in her eyes.
"Teacher Luna, just have one serving. Every time you bring food to us, you eat with us. You definitely haven't eaten this time. Father's braised chicken is really delicious," Amy said expectantly as she looked up at Luna.
"Yes, Teacher Luna. It's so delicious that I'm crying," Jessica said with a nod, the tears on her face still wet.
The other children also chimed in, and begged Luna to have one serving. They had to let Teacher Luna eat such delicious food. It would be a pity to miss it.
"Have one serving. It won't taste good if it gets cold. The children all want you to eat it," Meg said with a smile as he handed over the braised chicken and rice in his hand.
Luna looked at the children's innocent and expectant eyes, and then at Meg's kind smile. She hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to take the two boxes. She nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, then I'll eat with you all today. Be good and eat until you're full."
"Yay!" The children's faces lit up with happy smiles, and they obediently returned to their seats.
